Summary

This private earth dam, with a height of 21 feet and a length of 1130 feet, holds a maximum storage capacity of 480 acre-feet. The dam, situated on the TR-Leon River, features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 240 feet and two uncontrolled outlet gates.

Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Warren Dam No 2 poses a moderate risk (rated 3) according to the information available. The dam has not been inspected since January 1979, and its condition is currently not rated. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place, it meets inspection and permitting requirements set by the state of Texas.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Warren Dam No 2 presents an intriguing case study in the management of irrigation infrastructure. The dam's historical significance, coupled with its current risk assessment and lack of recent inspections, highlights the importance of ensuring the safety and maintenance of such structures to protect both the environment and surrounding communities.

Condition Assessment

Satisfactory
No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.

Hazard Potential Classification

High
Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
